They're thrusting their quicktime software down our necks just to see
the freaking ad. Rather shortsighted in my opinion. Looks like I won't
be watching it. They're also forgetting that "PC" (personal computer)
refers to the hardware. I have many PC's (running Linux of course) and
I've not seen one of these 114,000 viruses yet.

Macs are, for all intents and purposes, the PC equivalent of a car with a fancy starter motor and a plastic shell over the entire engine.
Yay for universal PC use.
I don't think they could get away with "windows" though...

It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault if you object to this.
